Easy Mushroom Gravy

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
• 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups vegetable or beef broth
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional, for added depth of flavor)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: In a medium skillet, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onions, and cook until they are softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
3. Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture, stirring well to combine. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
4. Add Broth: Gradually whisk in the broth, making sure to smooth out any lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 5-10 minutes.
5. Season: Stir in the soy sauce if using, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve: Serve the gravy hot over your favorite dishes.

Feel free to adjust the seasoning or add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
